He's Evel, but not that kind of Evel

A federal appeals court in San Francisco today pitched Evel Knievel's lawsuit against ESPN, in which the aging motorcycle daredevil claimed the sports network had defamed him by jokingly referring to him as a "pimp" in a photo caption on its Web site.

I, for one, can't imagine why Evel would believe anyone would really think he was a pimp. I mean, pimps are noted for gaudy outfits, fancy walking sticks, cadres of adoring women, loudmouthed braggadocio, and an outrageous, ostentatious lifestyle.

Hmm.

Never mind.
